Fursing majors are involved in Diversified levels of health care The Division of Nursing is headed by Albertta )avid, who has been with Olivet since 1978. She tates that nursing is a profession. In this profession we are interested with people t various levels; that is, we are interested in revention of illness and of any injuries that we an help people avoid. We are interested in aching people health counseling that would keep tieir health potential . . . We are interested in the econdary level of care, that is, the early diagnosis nd treatment of illnesses so that we keep the esidual effects of the disease or injury as small as ossible so people can return to a full state of ealth. We are interested in the third level of health are, basically that is taking care of people with hronic illnesses or chronic conditions that in some my inhibit their reaching a full potential so that ley help them ... in reaching the highest health otential that they can . . . The Nursing Department attempts to produce Ihristian nurses so their profession can be a prac- ce of faith and belief in God through the means of ervice God gives them. In preparation for this ser- ice, the Division of Nursing attempts to prepare lajors personally, spiritually, and professionally. Division of Nursing Susanna Davison Nursing Ranelle Eigsti Nursing Amy Golyshko Nursing Linda Greenstreet Nursing Susan E. Hobbs Nursing Phyllis Reeder Nursing The broad liberal arts background offered is con- sidered important for nursing majors because a bet- ter understanding of man in general, including the way he thinks, the way he recognizes himself sociologically, and the way he interacts, lends a bet- ter understanding of how to view people and how to give nursing care. Future expansion is expected for the RN comple- tion program offered. Although the program is young, the curriculum is being refined while exper- tise is being built. Nursing students can hold high expectations in their chosen career. The division chairwoman ex- pressed it thusly: Nursing is a field as broad as you want to define it, and so the opportunities for our graduates are almost unbounded. We have people who are working in Appalachia, doctors ' offices, clinics, as well as hospitals and other health care facilities. Any way you can define health, there is some opportunity then for our graduates to practice their profession.
